Web Solutions Project

• Much user testing is still left to do much of
  this will be accomplished over Thanksgiving when
  I am around more older adults.
• Problems have been identified, but a
  comprehensive and possible solution plan still
  needs to be made.
• The recommendation report will also be presented
  to Advanced Dermatology, so they will be able to
  address their websites needs to their e-commerce
  hosting site, and so they can know their
  alternatives if they decide to switch.
